Palm Sunday 2012

In Christian churches today,
Children carried palm fronds down the aisles
In memory of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 
On that day so long ago
The crowd spread their cloaks and palm leaves
Before his donkey's feet.
Hosannas filled the air.
In one week, 
Christ would 
Be arrested,
Condemned
And
Crucified.
His body placed in a tomb
And
Resurrected.
Did Jesus know what was to come
As he rode into Jerusalem?
I think he did.
And still he came to Jerusalem.
